Stanislaw Lukasiewicz

Stanislaw Lukasiewicz (1642-Winter 1701) was a Polish gentleman.

Biography
Lukasiewicz was born in Lodz and studied at the college, eventually becoming a professor and a gentleman (scholar). In 1700, during the Great Polish War, he stole research from the Prussians when they occupied Poland, staying in Lodz, which was officially a Prussian college.

Death
Because of the threat and annoyance that Lukasiewicz presented to the Prussian authorities in Warsaw, gentleman Gottfried Liebnitz was sent to duel him in Lodz. Lukasiewicz and Liebnitz dueled with swords and Lukasiewicz slashed Liebnitz across the chest, but a limping Liebnitz ran and turned to shoot Lukasiewicz with his pistol. The shot instantly killed Lukasiewicz, and Lodz was freed from the Poles.
